This gen would be Tales of Zesteria. I loved this game from start to finish.
Last gen would be XEdge, a JRPG with many flaws, but a very deep combat system and interesting plot for a crossover game.
PS2 era...Orphan Scion of Sorcery...I don't know how...I don't know why...but this game was a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day and therefore had to be mentioned.
